Well, I just happened to be near a television set last night when "Smallville" came on so I watched as much of the show as I could. Dean Cain is a very good incentive to get someone to watch a show.
I don't usually watch Smallville, so I had no idea what has been going on there. I did watch the first few seasons, but drifted away after that. It has changed a bit, needless to say. I didn't see Martha or Jonathan Kent anywhere - are they still around?
Anyway, I did enjoy the show last night. Dean Cain did an exceptional job, in my opinion. He is a wonderful actor. He has just been typecast as "Superman" no matter how many other roles he has undertaken to try and move on from that all important role.
Dean was terrific as an evil "immortal", and I am wondering if we have seen the last of him on that show - or not. Afterall, they did say he was "immortal".
However, I did not like some of the evil acts (or language) that his character did or committed, but there again, did he do them for love - and how can you get really mad at a guy when he is only doing evil for someone he loves? Even if he is misguided and has done wrong - he did it for love. It's a real tear jerker and heart breaker to me, and even he shed tears after his love really died. It made me feel so sorry for him, and I could almost understand his anger and rage at the ones interferring in his work.
To think that you could almost understand someone's pain and fury in that way is really quite scary too, but I think the writers may have wanted us to "feel his pain". What do you think? Is this the classic sign of a "enemy with a heart" who starts "evil" but later does a turnaround and becomes a "hero" or good guy of sorts? Interesting possibility and thought as long as Dean Cain is playing this role.
I didn't notice the other characters in the show all that much. For some reason, I really like this Lex Luthor guy and he seems to have evolved a great deal during all these years I have not been watching this show. He's a great match for Superman, I think.
The guy playing the role of Superman is still doing a great job too. I think they should let him play the role of Superman in a big screen movie too. He could do a good job, I think.
First time for me to see the young "Jimmy Olson" and I like him too. His blond friend that walked away from him in the end is absolutely nuts!
Most of the gals seem nutty - even the smart one that is secretly watching Lex Luthor, or whatever it is she was doing.
I suppose that was "Supergirl" who flew off into the night - what is her problem - wait, I'm not sure I even want to know. And, lastly, who is that guy that seems to know Jor-El and whom Supergirl seems to detest - smells like trouble to me. Not enough to get me to watch regularly, though, unless there is more Dean Cain.
One more note - I really like the spot Dean did at the end of the show about the Chris / Dana Reeve foundation. That was cool!
Another note - I had to change some of my wording in this post because I triggered the word censor.
So some of the language has been cleaned up a bit.
